Rivian adds Apple Music, but won't consider CarPlay
CarPlay has been around since 2015, and it's supported by 800+ car models. I would say it's doing quite well.eriamjh said:I have Carplay in the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Now, the Bolt doesn't have any mapping abilities or charge and route planning.
Neither does Car Play.
All it has is Maps, for navigation, which I use... sometimes. If I play music, it's either iTunes or Youtube Music. And those don't really require anything on the screen.
Apple wants OEMs to adapt Carplay as an easy way to slap an interface on their cars instead of developing expensive interfaces in-house. Instead, the OEMs mostly do a half-ass job and no one notices how bad they are because most don't care.
Car Play came out of the dead Apple EV. And it probably won't get very far either.

Oh, I guess we can't comment unless we own a Tesla? Thanks for letting us know Neoncat.

Apple Watch used to call for help during armed burglary
The Apple Watch doesn't make any sound during the SOS countdown. The iPhone does, but you can turn it off in settings.SoundJudgment said:How can anyone silently send an 'Emergency SOS Text' to anyone else or EMS... when the thing wails off like a Banshee by doing so??
